    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Shot a few rounds after adjusting the hammer spring tension on my Crown. Reg. set at 135 bar . Before adjustment, 18.1 gr. pellets at 920 avg. fps with hammer spring dial at 23. Now 18.1 gr. pellets go 915 fps with hammer dial at 13. Noticeable improvement in shot groups at 25, 50 and 70 yds...

    Pushed a patch, 9 actually, no cleaning fluids, thru the short barrel on my Crown, last patch came out clean. OELOC (Operator Error Lack Of Concentration) lost a patch between the moderator lug and the barrel end. removed the shroud, got the errant patch. The single disk between the outside of...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    PaP, PaP, or PP. Lock tight on hammer spring knob screw. Spell cjeck? I used the AGN search function. Lots of threads on barrel cleaning. Just wondering if it makes a difference if I Push a Patch, or Pull a Patch when cleaning the barrel on my Crown? Or perhaps it's Personnel Preference. I...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Greetings all. Two thinks of passing interest came to my attention today. First a Buteo at about 250-300 yds. and a Chicken of the Trees at 25 to 30 yds. Stop reading here if you are an ASPCA ist (of Abashedly Salient Pander & Candid Acerbic). One such, might find this post punishing. The hawk...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Thanks Scotty1 You've answered before asked or I'm slow to respond. Air pressure comes from under the barrel. The bridge in the larger S hole prevents slugs, that can use more air, from falling thru a larger opening. For the time being I'll use the P down orientation. I saw the bridge in the...

    Thanks Scotty1. Watt a Man, you have my volt. A response of ample insight surrounded, sans resistance, by knowledge and encased in a mnemonic flow of current posts. Thanks for shedding light on my question. Yes, looks like an O ring in the bottom of the AV female connection after the slip...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Greetings All. My new FX Crown MKII is a laser. Just harvested two, chicken of the tree, fox squirrels at about 45 yds. They are an invasive species here and quite tasty with onion garlic, mushrooms and habanero gravy 'cause if you aint sweatin' you aint eaten. First two rounds fired at game and...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Thank you TMX. In my humble opinion this issue was a BIN (Buger in Nose) problem that could have been solved with a phone call from an informed knowledgeable factory trained rep. I got yada yada yada gonna 'cause it might have cost the retailer shop time plus cash for shipping. So I think...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Thanks Scott1, After TMHs suggestion worked, my paraOELOKnoia has been significantly reduced. Thanks Emu, Two fine airgun manufacturers. I flipped a three sided coin and it came up FX. YouTube click bait was also an influence on my choice. Thanks to All cbow

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Thank you TMH. I removed the locking screw and, with difficulty, I was by hand not pry bar, was able to lift the knob a bit but not remove. After several lifts and push backs the dial begrudgingly rotates thru all its detents. The ball bearing must have stayed in place because rotation indexes...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Thanks TMH. From where the sun now stands I will rotate the hammer spring dial CCW only, forever. When I saw srtmarts pictures of the cliff vs lobe style wheel I immediately assumed I had committed and unforgivable OELOK and voided the airgun warranty. We'll see what the retailer has to say...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Thanks Srtmat for the pictures. Thanks Scotty1. Is the rear knob, (the spring tension knob) supposed to rotate 360 degrees in either direction? Any Idea why the front knob, (airflow adjuster) won't move off the high position? Understand that I'm new to PCP and FX. Detailed explanations are...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Thanks Scotty1. So changes in the knob position are so small that a precise reference to position is of no consequence and a general sense of rotation is adequate. Is it so, that a 180 degree rotation of the spring tension knob provides all the spring tension adjustment achievable with the dial...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    Thanks for your reply Scotty1. The screw holding the knob doesn't turn with the knob. The knob will turn CW or CCW about 5 or 10 degrees but then hits a dead stop. Agreed I don't have gorilla hand strength but the knob just won't turn to either the medium or low settings. Another knobby question...

    Thanks 18.13. I've seen that one and it's a good video, once you wade thru the sales pitch up front. The last 30 min. are in very informative. Have you seen the person in the background messing with a dog? Watched the last section several times if you count backing up and reviewing. There is a...

    Crown Contimuum MK IIs\' at 3000 FPS

    New to PCP. Had two springers that on a calm day would usually hit somewhere on a 12" pie plate at 10 yds. Just purchased a new FX Crown Continuum MKII in .22 cal. (Knees weak from sticker shock) but don't you just love that new airgun smell? Oh yea, and a 98 cu3 ft carbon wrap air bottle. It's...
